Background:

Three piece punk band the Mice formed in the mid-nineties as Billy Club. Explains singer/bassist Travis Poe, “Our lead singer Matt went away to rehab and never came back. We started saying, ‘When Matt’s away the Mice will play.’ He never came back.”

Poe, drummer Raul Campuzano, and singer/guitarist Rob Logic (Life Crisis) have also played together in the Homeless Sexuals. Logic and Poe both graduated from Granite Hills High

On their debut album, the Mice play fast indie punk that one Reader reviewer thought comes across as wannabe grunge.

In 2013, Logic took over Fanny’s in Spring Valley and renamed it the Bancroft Bar.
